Adjust Work Based on Skill Level

Posted: 21 Aug 2004 12:03 PM PDT

Hi,

Try the following macro.
Attention, depending on task type and effort driven there is an effect on
task duration but I hope you know all that.
Put "standard" work (in hrs) in the number 1 field of the assignment
(assignment lines are the detail lines in a Usage view), and the correction
factor in the number1 field of the resource:

Sub Skillwork
dim job as task
Dim ass as assignment
dim slave as resource
for each job in activeproject.tasks
if not job is nothing then
for each ass in job.assignments
set slave=activeproject.resources(ass.resourceid)
ass.work=ass.number1*60*slave.number1
next ass
end if
next job
end sub

HTH

Thanks, Steve. That does explain why the numbers looked odd to me.

Duration in "ewks"

Posted: 19 Aug 2004 12:37 PM PDT

Corey --

The designation "ewks" refers to "elapsed weeks." An elapsed week is seven
24-hour days, thus, it will ignore the project calendar. Hope this helps.

Resource Hours

You have a couple of options. IMO, if the task requires his full attention
from start to finish and once started will take take him 6 hours to
complete, it is a 6 hr duration task, not a 1 day task. If you estimate
that it will take 4 to 6 hours, since durations are estimates, not
certainties, until the work is actually done, split the difference and plan
for it as a 5 hour duration task or 6 hours if you want to allow a bit of
cushion. Another way to do it is to assign him at less than 100%
allocation - again, split the difference and since he needs to accomplish an
estimated 5 hours of work over the course of an 8 hour duration, his
assignment for that task is 5/8's or about 65%. That means over the span of
an 8 hour work day, he will be doing the equivalent of 5 hours of actual
work on this particular task.

Is there a way to customize reports?

Posted: 18 Aug 2004 06:25 PM PDT

Hi

yes, you can customise (most) reports to a greater or lesser degree ...
instead of going to Current Activities, choose View / Reports / Custom,
click on Completed Tasks and then click on the EDIT button ... give the
report a new name, and then you can play with the filter options (choose
Incomplete rather than Complete) and the table that the data comes from ...
i didn't have a look at what your options were here but you might be able to
get the fields that you want by changing the table.

If you can't get exactly what you want using this report, post back with
details of what you actually want to see on the report and hopefully someone
will come up with a way to achieve it.

Hope this helps
Cheers
JulieD
